How is everyone setting up their suspensions on these things? How hard are you setting the fronts and rear? I know some guys turn everything to the hardest setting, but I'm curious to see if this will really affect the feel of the bike.

I always tighten the spring up a little in the rear on every bike then just get mitch adams or someone to set the front up

i add a little extra fluid to the 05 06 forks so they dont bottom out so easy and i run the compression and damper settings to about 90% hard with the sping preload at about 50% then i tighten the rear spring to no sag with both settings on full hard ..

make a big difference if you ask me

That's kind of what I've been hearing, thanks *****. I don't really know of anyone local that can set the front up unfortunately....

Thanks Roger! I'll try that.

good setup! what type of fork fluid?and how much extra?

old man roger

what ever ya got , i used 20wt cause pete left some here from when we did his damper and i would have to go look at the syringe to tell you exactly how much but it was about a half a small dixie cup per side ..

it just makes the air chamber in the fork a little smaller so you get the same affect as a stiffer spring with out the increase in rebound but it's not enough to really effect the wt of the fluid

I think a How-To tear apart forks thread with pics would be awesome. And put them back together. Haha

tighten the top screws all the way and back em off a touch.....money in the bank, i've done the same with 05's that i've ridden overseas.

good stuff in here

its not recomended to use anything above 5wt. high viscosity oils break down more and are inconsitant with the heat of constant abuse or time.

i have my suspension revalved by RG3 suspension. they change the valving so that i still run 5wt but have proper valving to keep my suspension were i want it. it helped front an rear. made a huge diffrence. any questions just ask or go to there site and hit up heath or any of the other guys over there. there good people!

+1 def, someone should do that im curious

old man roger

i only added a little of the thicker oil to make the air chamber smaller but to be honest i would rather change my fork oil once in a while , compared to the price of getting my forks re valved to get the same effect but im cheap
